The War on Coal seems bleak. The warriors include all envirowhacko’s, the prez, most democrats, academia, the EPA and the MSM, etc.
The good news is that China, India, and other countries with something like 60% of the world's population isn't held to any standards when it comes to the burning of fossil fuels.
The really good news is that all of these countries are building coal-fired power plants like there's no tomorrow.
The really, really good news is that U.S. coal mines are shipping a lot of coal overseas to these countries so they can burn coal in their new plants ... since the coal that they burn there apparently doesn't cause global warming climate change.
Wyo. needs to send two local Ted Cruz types to the Senate.
Obama suggests his upcoming rule on coal plants will avert long-term health crisis

“I do think there is a war on coal” Mead said.
The Obama administration, for its part, says there is no such war. “Coal is part of the energy mix today, and it will be for decades into the future,” EPA administrator Gina McCarthy told Basin Electric Power Cooperative employees during a February visit to the company’s Synfuels plant in Beulah, North Dakota.
I'm relieved. The Obama administration assures me there's no war on coal. Thank goodness my electric rates aren't going to "necessarily skyrocket."
I'm also smug and happy with the Obama assurances that I can keep my doc, my deductible, my premiums, and my insurance company.
Absent the global warming scare about CO2, a new coal-fired plant, which removes all emissions harmful to health, has a lower cost per KWH of output than a new gas-fired plant.
There is therefore no rationale for the about-to-be-proposed EPA regulations. If implemented, they should be removed by a future Republican administration.
Wyoming’s a red state. To this administration, what difference does it make?
Wyoming has the best type coal; much of it is radioactive.
Then Wyoming had just as well get ready for a big change because there are not enough people there to matter.
The strategy goes on. Target small groups that can’t defend themselves.
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that the families of the children of the mechanics who fix the mines’ great diesel trucks, the welders who staff their machine shops and the railroad employees who see the final product shipped across the country and beyond all vote Democrat.
